Decom Engineering has appointed Nick McNally as managing director, to drive ahead the company's strategy on accelerating international expansion, scaling operations and strengthening its position as a leading provider of patented cutting technologies to the global energy industry
McNally was formerly the company’s commercial director, under whose leadership Decom has rolled out a new ultra-light Chopsaw with improved cutting performance, which has been deployed across complex subsea projects in challenging offshore environments, and the company has experienced recent project wins in Australia, South America and Europe.
The company has also consolidated operations in Aberdeen, closed its Northern Ireland facility, and restructured its internal systems and roles. The company is actively progressing ISO certification as well as additional IP coverage and is engaged with the Fit for Offshore Renewables programme, enabling greater access to clean energy markets and expanding opportunities in offshore wind.
Decom plans to expand its workforce from 16 to over 25 staff within the next 18 months, with new roles across engineering, operations, and business development.
McNally said, “This is an exciting new stage for Decom as the business evolves from a highly respected niche engineering firm into a globally recognised technology partner.
“With new markets opening up and recent contract wins in Australia, Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico, the opportunities ahead are considerable and my focus will be on building the infrastructure, capability and culture to meet that growth head-on.”
“With international demand growing and increasing interest in our cutting technology, we’re focused on scaling responsibly, strengthening our systems, investing in our people and remaining agile, which enables us to move into new markets such as offshore wind and onshore decommissioning.”
